These pain signals may manifest, for example, in rheumatoid arthritis, angina, dyspepsia, low back
problems, fibromyalgia, neuralgia, migraine, and hangover headaches. They are necessary to alert the
person to attend to the problem of a widespread or localized form of dehydration.
Taking analgesics or other pain-relieving medications such as antihistamines and antacids can cause
irreversible damage in your body. They not only fail to address the real problem (which may be
dehydration), but they also cut off the connection between the neurotransmitter, histamine, and its
subordinate regulators, such as vasopressin, Renin-Angiotensin (RA), prostaglandin (PG), and kinins.
Although the action of pain-killing drugs can relieve localized pain for a while, it also precludes your
body from knowing the priority areas for water distribution. This can greatly confuse your body’s internal
communications systems and spread chaos throughout the body. Antihistamines—oftentimes referred to
as allergy drugs—effectively prevent the body's histamines from ensuring balanced water distribution.
The problem worsens once the body has reached a certain pain threshold. In addition to jeopardizing
the water-regulating mechanisms, these painkillers become ineffective because the brain takes over as a
direct center for monitoring pain perpetuation (unless, of course, the body is properly hydrated again). If
your body produces lasting pain for no apparent reason (not caused by an injury), before drawing any
other conclusions, you should interpret this as the body’s cry for water and its attempt to remedy an
unbalanced condition. Prescription pain medication suppresses the body’s primary signal of dehydration.
Pain killers “short-circuit” the body’s emergency routes for water supply; they also sabotage proper waste
elimination and sow the seeds of chronic illness.
There is enough documentation to show that pain medications may have fatal side effects. They can
cause gastrointestinal bleeding, which kills thousands each year. The morphine-type compounds these
legal drugs contain can also lead to serious, life-altering addictions. When the famous radio host, Rush
Limbaugh, announced on his radio program that he was addicted to pain medication, his life was in
shambles. But he is not alone in this. There are millions of people who initially started off by taking an
“innocent” Advil for the occasional headache, but ended up being unable to live without strong
painkillers. Once you start using dehydrating medications like these, you will mostly likely develop the
same kind or even worse pain over and over again.
The most recently documented and widely popularized side effects of pain killers, such as Vioxx,
Celebrex and the over-the-counter drug Aleve (Naproxen), should tell you that there are no safe
painkillers. These drugs were found to increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes by at least 50 percent.
Aspirin and other “harmless” drugs belong to the same class of painkillers as the above. Today, there are
millions of heart disease sufferers, who out of ignorance and misguided trust in the medical system, the
FDA and the pharmaceutical industry, believed that taking a little innocent baby pill wouldn't do them any
harm. The revelation that this little pill could destroy their heart or damage their brain if they took it for
more than 10 days may be no less than shocking. But how many people listen to such warnings if all they
want is to “get rid of that annoying pain”?
Taking a “harmless” little pill that makes you feel better within a matter of minutes and allows you to
get on with your life may feel like the right thing to do. And, if the pain medicine tastes delicious, the
“miracle drug” couldn’t possibly do you any harm, or could it? Tylenol Extra Strength “cool caplets,” the
latest craze among painkilling medications, makes these dangerous drugs appear harmless. It’s both a
breath mint and a pain reliever. But is it really a sound idea to add the temptation of flavoring to a pain-
reliever that, by the FDA's own admission, plays a role in at least 100 reported (a fraction of the real
figure) unintentional deaths each year? This may change now that the scandals surrounding drug approval
and the revelations concerning shoddy research are increasingly being exposed; or will it? If you were to
ask people on the street if they considered acetaminophen to be a completely benign medication, most
